Köp båda 2 för 585 krThe ten contributors to this beautifully illustrated volume examine the reception of biblical women ranging from Eve to the woman clothed with the sun. In this stellar example of visual exegesis, the points of view vary from that of the artist to that of the viewer, as well as from Jewish, Christian, and Muslim perspectives Overall, the ten articles illuminate differing angles of visual exegesis, yet cohere well. * Catholic Biblical Quarterly * [Biblical Reception, 5] is well illustrated and entirely in color. For biblical scholars, especially feminist readers, it provides a new vantage point; for specialists in art, literature, or music, it invites further dialogue with the Bible and those who study it. * Reading Religion * This, the latest in an excellent series, is not only handsomely produced, with over 80 illustrations (the majority in colour), and prefaced by unusually generous abstracts of its ten constituent essays; it is also guest-edited by Diane Apostolos-Cappadona ... Fascinating in itself, and, like most papers in this volume, certain to sharpen our apprehension of the complex interplay between word and image. * Theology *
